I Cipressi- Borgo Bastia Creti

An exclusive little enclave of just five cottages and apartments, Borgo Bastia Creti is the beautiful transformation of a tiny hilltop hamlet, set in spacious gardens and framed with trees. At its heart, a brick-paved courtyard bridges the gap between two imposing buildings, their old stone walls softened in a multi-toned cloak of climbing greenery. From here, an exterior staircase leads to the entrance lobby of the gorgeous I Cipressi, which occupies the upper two floors of the residence and looks out to lovely views across the tree-sprinkled grounds. Setting the scene for the spacious house, a graceful stone staircase leads from the lobby to the elegant living room, furnished in rich fabrics and featuring a through-the-wall fireplace, which also adds warmth and character to the adjoining dining kitchen. A bedroom on this level has a small private terrace, and there are two further bedrooms on the floor above. Shared facilities include a tennis court, swimming pool and Club Bastia social hub, with indoor and al fresco dining areas, and Borgo Bastia Creti is an easy drive from amenities in Umbertide.
